Results of electro-thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded thick-walled spherical shell made of temperature dependent materials are presented in this article. All material properties are assumed temperature-dependent and also are graded along the thickness direction based on power function. Temperature dependency is accounted for all material properties including, thermal, mechanical a...

Abstract Elastic modulus plays a key role in the application of porous metallic materials. However, to best our knowledge, few attempts have been made model simultaneous dependence elastic on temperature and porosity for The present article contributes rational temperature-porosity-dependent materials with all parameters having definite physical significance. can well predict moduli materials, ...

Understanding the temperature-dependent hardness of covalent materials is fundamental scientific interest and crucial technical importance. Here we propose a formula for zinc-blende structured based on dislocation theory. Our results indicate that at low temperatures, Vickers primarily modulated by Poisson’s ratio shear modulus, with latter playing dominant role. With an increase in temperature...

Among the various methods to accelerate curing thermoset polymers, such as epoxy, involves the use of radio frequency (RF) fields. In this, the polymer precursor materials are placed in a microwave reactor, high power RF fields are introduced, and the electrical (or for that matter, magnetic) loss mechanisms convert the RF power to heat and therefore inducing curing. One of the most challenging...
